9. Firestarter: Now here’s a tool you want if you’re trying to start a fire. This tool fits in your pocket or purse, and all you have to do is strike the flint stone with the steel end and voila!

10. Sugru moldable glue: This item is similar to silly putty, but it has a hardening agent in it so it can be used as glue. It’s made from silicon technology that, at first, is moldable like putty, but let it sit overnight to turn it into a super strong rubber adhesive that won’t break.

13. Moso air purifying bags: Musty smells tend to hang around closets and other places where clothing accumulates. These bags are filled with activated charcoal which naturally absorbs nasty odors and leaves the area smelling fresh.

14. Touch-up tool: Over the years, walls accumulate little scratches and dings from a variety of things. Instead of embarking on a massive job involving paint buckets and brushes, this simple tool will get rid of the scuffs in no time.

15. BedBand: Sometimes all the rolling around we do in our sleep tugs at our sheets, and the next morning we need to re-stretch them around our mattress corners. BedBands ensure our fitted sheets stay exactly where they should.

16. The Gripet: Covering a refrigerator or cabinet door with taped notes is an eyesore, and the tape often leaves residue behind. With the Gripet, however, notes can be organized easily without the mess of tape.

18. Magnetic cable clips: Here’s something else magnetic that’s keeping things together. These clips attach anywhere you want and hold on tight to your cords so you don’t have to bend down and search through a massive heap of wiring.

19. Collapsible watering can: Trying to find storage in a garage or closet can be difficult when you own cumbersome items. This product serves as both a bucket and watering can, but it takes up the space of neither after it collapses down.

20. The Diffuser: Everyone wants their car to smell nice, but it’s not always easy to get a warm inviting scent flowing throughout. However, this portable aromatherapy diffuser plugs into a USB port, and it automatically turns off when the water reaches a certain point.
